command? who makes a decision in 40 minutes because you hate donald trump? find another scapegoat. you might want to look at the last president. on that last point, nice try. they blame obama for rain. they blame obama for traffic. there s a lot of things we could talk about president obama, but that rob porter was kept on in the white house for more than a year after it came attention to the white house counsel that he had been accused of domestic abuse, that s a government problem, not a donald trump problem. who is she talking to inside the white house? she s talking to donald trump. that s the only person she s talking to. there is soul searching going on in the white house and they should be concerned about the decision making that led up to this. but when you see what president trump himself tweeted over the weekend about how accusations can ruin a person s life, about what he said a couple days ago about wishing rob porter well,
i think a lot of people would be sympathetic to what she s writing there, and i think trump saying this is just a mere allegation is far more damaging in a lot of ways than the way general kelly dealt with the situation. while kelly, obviously he knew about something that he didn t tell the president about, and his comments have been conflicting with other accounts, the timing is a little squishy. apparently he told white house staffers to give a different accounting of what exactly happened here. this is a president of the united states who needs to lead by example, skpeez nand he s no that. he s saying this is an allegation, downplaying it, not showing any sympathy for anything, and that s why this scandal probably will not go away tie ni tiany time soon. we know that rob porter himself told the don mcgahn,
president when you make public statements, you should show some empathy, some concern for the women here? even if you want to wish rob porter well because he served you well, the president s tweets and public statements have done no such thing. they have defended the man who was accused incredibly by two ex-wives. the previous wife jenni says, there it is again. the words mere allegation and falsely accused meant to imply that i am a liar. that colbie holderness is a l liar. that the work rob was doing in the white house was of higher value than our mental, emotional or physical well-being. that his professional contributions are worth more than the truth. that abuse is something to be questioned and doubted. and roy moore. roy moore.
president trump s beef with john kelly stretches back several months and has nothing to do with rob porter. it is about whether the chief of staff has too greatly tightened control about who comes and goes and whether john kelly has too much unilateral control over decision making, whether the president feels hemmed in or challenged by him which many of the president s friends have been whispering inside his ears from inside the building and outside the building in recent months. ultimately i think that is more likely the factor in john kelly s longevity, but the president has to consider it s a midterm year, he has several balls in the air right now in terms of policy priorities that he wants to move forward on, and changing chiefs of staff would be an incredibly disruptive move. general kelly coming from the military chain of command structure i think is highly unlikely to offer himself up to go unless the president asks for it, and that s where we are now on this monday. you menti
